Effing Feline worries about Cousin Lee #wewriwa

I, Effing Feline, am expecting a visitor soon — my cousin Lee. While I admire Lee, for some reason he makes me feel small. Any cat except me would be scared of Lee, but not me!

But I’m a big enough cat to admit I’m a wee bit anxious about the last time we met. You see, I turned him in to the cops, who put him behind bars; he’s out on a good-behavior furlough. Do you think he’ll be mad at me?

In Alien Contact for Runaway Moms, Tal Pelletier has escorted Audra Verhailey and her baby to the abandoned underground city where he had lived before his people hopped Kwadra Island to this Earth. After a hard day’s hike, they’re in the the mysterious town, near the end of their trek.

“We’re going to my place.” He looked back, realized he was walking too fast, and slowed. “Where we used to live, Before.” He spoke that last word as though it were capitalized, and she supposed to a Kwadran, it was.

She hurried after him. As they walked, Roxie fussed more and more. Soon she’d be crying, and Audra couldn’t take proper care of her until they stopped. The only thing that helped was singing, so she sang about an itsy bitsy spider — softly, so he couldn’t hear how bad her singing voice was.

When she looked up from her song, Tal had vanished.

Effing Feline here again. Those of you who’ve been in Weekend Writing Warriors a long time may remember Cousin Lee, but for those who are new, here’s his picture. Do you think I should be worried about putting him behind bars at the zoo? I’ll let you know next week how the visit went.

Nice cliffhanger, Ed! Soothe us with a song and end up with a disappearing act. We mothers who have had fussy babies are not amused. But I’m sure we can be calmed with a logical explanation. Effing, maybe you should have gone to apologize on visiting day.

Oh no, he’s gone?! Where did he go and will she find him?
Effing, you could have shipped your cousin back to Africa instead of putting him behind bars, he would probably be much happy than the picture above.

Oh dear, I’d hate to be in her position – she might not have been too comfortable with him earlier, but she’s far worse off without him. Effing – I think you might be in big troube, judging by his expression. Run, Effing, run! 🙂

By Tsonkwa’s nose hairs, I love this expression! Okay, so where did Tal go? We have to wait, don’t we? About Lee. I agree that Effing should leave–go to the movies, have lunch with a buddy, a spa date would be good.

Did Tal leave because of the song??? Ha! If you want a real ear worm, imagine the song ‘Some Enchanted Evening’. Now try and get THAT out of your head.
Meet up with Lee, just don’t turn your back. Maybe he’s reformed and wishes to thank you for setting him on the straight and narrow. Just sayin’
